I have a JD 894A without the front dolly and I can make very sharp turns. Seems to me that the dolly would restrict turns somewhat. Of course that"s related to how far out the tractor drawbar is. I have mine out 14 inches because that"s what my baler needs.

I've used both. The dolly does follow the ground better, but I prefer to just use the drawbar. I can make slight adjusments from the tractor seat, that comes in real handy if you have a few rough spots in the field. The regular hitch is also easier to back up. You can't go wrong with either one though.

Advantage: Takes the tractor front wheels out of the equation.e.g. Hit a hump with the front wheels cause the rake to dig in and vice versa. rake teeth are more closely regulated in regards to the soil conditions,much easier to hook up to tractor.
Disadavntages: One more wheel to go flat,& as stated, another wheel running over the hay and knocking leaves off ,especially if the hay is too dry.
If your fields are relatively smooth, then go without.Undulating or rough, go with a dolly wheel.
